Add Serendipity Writes The Plot. Fix the old link to the wiki.


* SerendipityWritesThePlot: Most boss rooms have the background flash and then blacken to pure black. This is done to use the background hardware to draw bosses too large for the sprite hardware to draw.

* InvisibleAdvertising: There was no advertising for ''Blaster Master Overdrive''. [=WiiWare=] was not as promoted as a competent online service. The game was announced two months before the North American release, so almost no one has heard of it. People had to dig deep to even hear that this game even existed.
